Adaptational Protagonist	comment	An adaptation always means having to tweak the original work to better fit the new medium's constraints. This occasionally results in shifting the characters' roles. For instance, they might become The Protagonist. You know, that person whom the narrative revolves around and whose viewpoint is used to tell the story. As for who can become the main character, well, just about anyone. If it's a secondary character with a moderate-to-minor role, then it doubles as Ascended Extra as well. However, the character may have belonged to a group of Rotating Protagonists in the original work. Or they were the Deuteragonist, sharing the spotlight with someone else, but now the story is mostly about them. Or it's just that the Decoy Protagonist or Supporting Protagonist gained more prominence. Alternatively, the creators are making a Continuity Reboot and decide to re-start anew with a fresh protagonist instead of rehashing the usual lead's storylines. This trick is particularly useful if the latest iteration ended not so long ago. It's also great if a creator wants to offer variety but is not fond of Tone Shifts. It can overlap with Pragmatic Adaptation, such as when one particular character is chosen to be the protagonist in a film from an otherwise equally-weighted Ensemble Cast—usually with a Switching P.O.V. conceit—to make the story easier to structure into a screenplay. In which case it's probably an Enforced Trope. This trope is restricted to adaptations and Continuity Reboots only because Prequel/Sequel Series and Spin-Offs have changing the cast and protagonist baked into their definitions. For Twice-Told Tales, we already have Perspective Flip, which focuses on the opposite P.O.V. (that of the antagonist/villain), and P.O.V. Sequel, when a sequel retells the original installment from someone else's perspective. Very common in Fan Works, although for entirely different reasons. One of the perks of writing fanfiction is that you can speculate how the story would look if it was about other characters—who have strengths, weaknesses, skillsets, wants, and needs different from that of the original lead. Note that this doesn't apply if the new main protagonist is an Original Character or Canon Foreigner that didn't exist in the original material. It's meaningful when an adaptation shifts both the lead role and Point of View to a secondary character, as it expands on what was previously established. A character produced out of nothingness just tweaks the story to cater to them. Likewise for a Continuity Reboot. Sister Trope of Ascended Extra, which is when a minor character gains more prominence (not necessarily the lead role). Another difference with that trope is that the promoted protagonist might not start as an extra but as a major or even main character. Opposite Trope of Demoted to Extra, for when a character with a major-to-moderate role gets degraded to a minor character. Compare Breakout Character, which might be the reason to promote a character to the main role. Contrast A Day in the Limelight, for when the work as a whole doesn't switch protagonists but devotes an episode to a non-protagonist character. It might overlap with Role Swap AU if a character is swapped to the protagonist's role and the viewpoint changes to the former. See also Hero of Another Story, because non-major character(s) who have their own adventures, you usually just don't get to see them. Note: When adding examples, please remember to state both the new protagonist's original role and in which ways the adaptation/retelling focuses on them.

While Harry Potter himself, although still important, only shows up a handful of times as a secondary character at best. Focusing on characters outside of Harry's year gives a slightly more normal look at life at Hogwarts without the "Boy Who Lived" stuff being as prominent. It also gives insight into the sheer amount of work, research, and ingenuity that goes into the twins' famous pranks, as well as a closer look into the founding and development of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and the owl-order service that preceded it.

The original Vienna production (1997) follows the movie pretty closely, with its focus on Alfred, a young student and assistant to Professor Abronsius in their journey to Central/Eastern Europe in search of vampires. Word of God by its librettist, Michael Kunze, states that the musical is Alfred's story first and foremost. However, when the musical crossed the Atlantic and appeared on Broadway as the failed Dance of the Vampires, its focus shifted away from Alfred to Sarah Chagal, Alfred's explicit Love Interest who was a mere Damsel in Distress in the movie, but gained some character depth in the Vienna production.

This differs from the usual adaptations of the novel, which focus on a certain little girl from Kansas, her pet dog, and her three friends, a lion, a tin man, and a scarecrow, and their adventures. Although Dorothy does appear in some episodes of the series, the focus remains solely on Zelena.

The film does away with the magical elements of the Arthurian mythos (e.g., Morgan Le Fay, Merlin, Lady of the Lake), and establishes Camelot as a medieval kingdom ruled by a fair King Arthur. The story, however, focuses on the infamous Arthur-Guinevere-Lancelot love triangle, by placing Lancelot in the spotlight. The film is his journey, and, at the ending, a dying Arthur passes on the crown and the kingdom to him, and allows Guinevere to be with him. In the original Arthuriana, Lancelot is a character inserted into the Arthurian mythos by the French wing of medieval authors.

Adaptational Protagonist / int_3953baf0	comment	Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame: Believe it or not, Quasimodo was never supposed to be the main character of the novel Notre-Dame de Paris. The actual protagonists of Victor Hugo's work are Pierre Gringoire (who functions as an Author Avatar), La Esmeralda, Claude Frollo (a much more complex character than later portrayals), Phoebus Chateaupers and the cathedral itself (which is elaborately described in a chapter halfway through the book). They all interact with Quasimodo, but he barely gains plot relevance until the climax (possibly the only part most people know of, Disney movie or not). This is also the reason why Victor Hugo despised the title of the first English translation: it puts emphasis on the wrong character and undermines the importance of the rest of the above-mentioned cast.

Barring, of course, his own comic book series, sprung off the main books for his popularity. Whenever there is an Animated Adaptation of the comics, it is almost always about the X-Men as a team, with Professor Xavier, Cyclops, or Storm at the helm. However, this 2009 cartoon's premise is that the X-Men dissolve after a mysterious attack where Jean Grey and Professor Xavier disappear. Years later, it is up to Wolverine to reunite the X-Men and step up as their de facto team leader. It's even lampshaded in the title who the (new) protagonist is supposed to be.

In particular, Iron Man has his head unceremoniously pulled off and Captain America is the last man standing before Thanos shatters his shield and snaps his neck. Instead, Adam Warlock is the one who plans and finally carries out a plan to bring Thanos down. When the story was adapted into the events of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, the Avengers take center stage, with Iron Man being the one to put Thanos down once and for all; at this point in the MCU, Adam Warlock had yet to exist aside from a cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and would not surface until the aftermath in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Adaptational Protagonist / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: In The Infinity Gauntlet, the Avengers are basically there to help up the death toll and make for an exciting battle with the all-but-godlike Thanos. In particular, Iron Man has his head unceremoniously pulled off and Captain America is the last man standing before Thanos shatters his shield and snaps his neck. Instead, Adam Warlock is the one who plans and finally carries out a plan to bring Thanos down. When the story was adapted into the events of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, the Avengers take center stage, with Iron Man being the one to put Thanos down once and for all; at this point in the MCU, Adam Warlock had yet to exist aside from a cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and would not surface until the aftermath in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The Civil War event was a Crisis Crossover involving the whole Marvel Universe and focusing on different viewpoints from the two fractions of Captain America and Iron Man. While both of them and some other superheroes are involved in the narrative of Captain America: Civil War, the movie is clearly a Captain America movie and a follow-up to Steve Rogers' and Bucky Barnes' story in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Captain Marvel (2019) is loosly based on Avengers: The Kree/Skrull War. The movie lets out all the other Avengers and while the storyline in the comics involves Captain Marvel, it is the Mar-Vell incarnation of the character while the movie is about Carol Danvers. An odd case with Thor: Ragnarok: The Sakaar-arc of that movies is based on Planet Hulk which is a story about the Hulk. While Hulk appears in the movie as the deuteragonist, the protagonist of the movie is of course Thor - who isn't part of the original storyline at all.

Adaptational Protagonist / int_6c2c4bf3	comment	X-Men Film Series: In the main timeline of the Marvel Comics, Mystique is introduced as a villain to Ms. Marvel in the late-1970s, later migrating to the X-Men comics under Chris Claremont during Days of Future Past (1981), and becoming a fixture. During certain periods of the comics, Mystique is affiliated with an X-team, but her stints are always part of some secret plan. In the First Class series, however, she becomes a major protagonist because she's reintroduced as Xavier's adoptive sister in X-Men: First Class (2011), and founds the X-Men with him in the same movie. She later returns as a member at the end of X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) and during Dark Phoenix (2019). X-Men: Days of Future Past: The protagonist of the original Days of Future Past is Kitty Pryde, however, it's changed to Wolverine for the movie. This is because Kitty was largely Out of Focus for the X-Men film series, so the plotline wouldn't make as much sense to wider audiences if it was starring her. She is still the catalyst for Time Travel in the movie.

There, they end to be Greater-Scope Paragon, Greater-Scope Villain, Big Good, or Big Bad characters. Here, they are the leaders of the various factions in a war simulation based on the Gundam lore and canonical events. In some cases, the playable character only interacts with those Plot Points as if they were receiving after-action reports—e.g. "General, the 08th MS team successfully destroyed the experimental Mobile Armor, but Lieutenant Shiro Amada is MIA.".

In the original text, Dracula is the foreign antagonist to the quintessentially British protagonists, Jonathan Harker, Mina Murray, and Lucy Westenra, plus her suitors. Adaptations of it turn Dracula into a Villain Protagonist and prop up a love story with Mina, and, depending on the work, may fall into the trap of excessively villainizing Abraham Van Helsing and/or Jonathan Harker, who is Mina's original Love Interest. This one-season show features Mina Murray as an increasingly independent woman who enrolls at medical school, while Dracula poses as an American entrepreneur named Alexander Grayson. As with other adaptations, Dracula-as-Grayson makes his moves on Mina romantically, while knowing she is engaged to Jonathan.

This action causes Shuichi to leave the Deadly Game alive while allowing Kaede to remain the protagonist for the entire story.

However, after the sudden departure of star Ruby Rose, the showrunners were told to create a new protagonist, and thus the show became focused on Ryan Wilder, the daughter of Jada Jet who finds the Batsuit in the same plane crash in which Kate disappears.

Adaptational Protagonist / int_b31b332f	comment	Transformers Film Series: The first three films (Transformers (2007), Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen and Transformers: Dark of the Moon) have Sam Witwicky as the protagonist. He stumbles upon and befriends the Autobots and then gets help from the human government when they are to face the Decepticons. Sam is a version of Spike Witwicky, who in The Transformers was the primary human ally of the Autobots and a significant supporting character (even getting a few A Day in the Limelight episodes), while his The Transformers (Marvel) self would become the Headmaster partner of Fortress Maximus. An offhand comment in Transformers: The Last Knight suggest that Sam died or was killed in the intervening years.

She is actually a Decoy Protagonist who was blackened in the first trial and killed off as per the rules of the Deadly Game. This fanfic averts said twist, as Shuichi Saihara, the actual protagonist of the game, chooses to take the fall for her, leading to her remaining as the protagonist for the entire story.

Despite him being the primary antagonist, we never get Dracula's personal perspective. In the 1992 film, Dracula is positioned as the Villain Protagonist of the story, with his relationship with Mina getting particular prominence. Also, the movie goes for a Reincarnation Romance angle between Mina and Dracula. As such, Mina is also given more focus compared to the other protagonists.

In the first short, the protagonists were Bart and Lisa, while the latter one had Homer. In "Plan 9," however the protagonist is Marge. "Bart Simpson's Dracula" had Lisa as the protagonist, with Bart acting as a Decoy Protagonist. In "Vlad All Over" however, the protagonist is Homer. In "Nightmare Cafeteria," the protagonist is implied to be Bart given that the ending reveals it to be his nightmare. In the level based on the short, however, the protagonist is Lisa.

The first book, The Invasion, had Jake as the protagonist. In the show it's broken up over three or four episodes, with one of them narrated by Marco. The book The Reaction focused on Rachel getting Power Incontinence after acquiring a crocodile. The corresponding episode gave this story to Cassie, possibly because not a lot of Cassie-centric books wound up being adapted.

Fast forward to 1992 and Disney's version tries to rectify the princess's presence in their adaptation by developing her character so she can be somewhat of equal standing with Aladdin.

However, in this first anime series, Misty is introduced right in the first episode and becomes Ash's companion from then on. Come episode 5, Brock is introduced as the Pewter City gym leader, and, in the final minutes, decides to accompany Ash on his journey. The trio make up the protagonists and remain as such for the first 5 seasons for Misty and the first 13 seasons for Brock. The same is then also true of Iris and Cilan in the Black and White seasons, Clement and Bonnie in the XY seasons. Aside from Lillie, who is vital to the story of the Gen 7 games, the Alola season adds Lana, Mallow, Kiawe, & Sophocles as major characters as well. Keep in mind, that these four were trial captains in the game, who don't appear much after their trials have been completed. Similarly Red was only the protagonist in the Gen I games and their Gen III remakes, while Ash, his anime counterpart remained the protagonist in the seasons that adapt the later games until he was replaced in PokÃ©mon Horizons: The Series.

Adaptational Protagonist / int_de6659ec	comment	Once Upon a Time: Being a Fairy Tale Free-for-All/Massive Multiplayer Crossover, it brings together characters from different fairy tales and fantasy works in a single, continuous storyline where they influence each other's stories. Beginning with season 2, the series brings in Captain Hook as an antagonist, anticipating their version of Neverland, which happens in season 3A. In their version of Peter Pan, both Pan and Hook are antagonists to the main characters, but Hook undergoes a Heelâ€“Face Turn and falls in love with the series' heroine, Emma Swan. Pan is dealt with at the end of season 3A, while Hook goes on to be part of the main cast for the rest of the show. This is highly unusual for adaptations of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, since many of them focus on the titular puer aeternus himself, or on Wendy Darling and her younger brothers. In season 3B, the series introduces Zelena, the Wicked Witch of the West, as Regina's, The Evil Queen, half-sister, as part of their adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. In further seasons, Zelena gets the focus whenever the series gets back to Oz and its related characters. This differs from the usual adaptations of the novel, which focus on a certain little girl from Kansas, her pet dog, and her three friends, a lion, a tin man, and a scarecrow, and their adventures. Although Dorothy does appear in some episodes of the series, the focus remains solely on Zelena.

In canon, she never even trains as a fighter and is, at best, a minor character. Additionally, the canonical Androids and Cell Arcs focus on Gohan's Character Development while Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks act as supporting cast. Here, the story is told primarily from Bra's perspective and she takes a more active role in both bonding with her father and defeating the androids. Trunks' death in the canon is used to punish Vegeta. Bra's death is a Heroic Sacrifice key to defeating Cell.
